I would go further and say that each one of these were so useful that they presented entirely new sets of problems to attempt to solve, because of how many other problems they directly addressed. It's like being mad that hammer was so

When you say "outside of" - that's the thing where it doesn't hold. It's interesting and not even wrong to say "these rules work in these contexts" but as far as I can tell we're looking for the scena

Well, you should! But, I didn't invent anything there, that's what they are named :) Syntax diagrams (or railroad diagrams) are a way to represent a context-free grammar. They represent a graphical alternative to Backus–Naur form,
